The Norman-Spencer Marine Retail University is coming to San Antonio, Texas, on October 21 and 22. The Boating Trades Association of Texas is hosting the event at the Omni La Mansion Del Rio in downtown San Antonio. It kicks off with a networking event at 6 p.m. on October 21 (including a river boat cruise and dinner) and then offers a full day of educational opportunities on the 22nd before winding down at 4:30 p.m. that day.

This one-of-a-kind event is a can't-miss opportunity for dealers and all those interested in succeeding in the marine industry. The most-important thing you should know about Marine Retail University is that the educational opportunity at this regional event will be tailored to your market! We will present data and statistics pulled from the surrounding market area so that attendees can set themselves apart from their competition by learning how to capitalize on the leading trends.

The MRU educational line-up will feature four educational sessions. Two morning sessions will provide attendees with a clear snapshot of what's happening in the Texas marketplace, and two afternoon sessions will provide insight into how to capitalize on that data.
